Autocracy Machinery has supplied two Rudra AquaMax 13M5T Dual-Purpose Weed Harvester cum Trash Skimmer machines to the Irrigation & Flood Control Department, Government of Delhi, for deployment at Najafgarh Drain near Punjabi Bagh Pul, on April 4, 2026, to improve water flow and reduce pollution levels in the drain ahead of the monsoon season.

The inauguration was attended by Shri Pravesh Sahib Singh, Minister of Irrigation & Flood Control Department; Smt. Kamaljeet Sehrawat, Member of Parliament, West Delhi; and Shri Kailash Gangwal, MLA, Madipur Assembly Constituency, along with senior government officials and local stakeholders. Officials noted this is the largest-capacity machine of its kind deployed in India to date.

The Rudra AquaMax 13M5T is a self-propelled machine built on a catamaran-based floating system. It operates across shallow and deep water bodies, including drains, canals, and under-bridge areas. A dual cutting system of vertical and horizontal blades handles dense vegetation, while a stainless-steel honeycomb conveyor enables continuous waste collection and discharge.

The machine runs on a 112 HP diesel engine, holds approximately 14.68 cubic metres of waste per cycle, and operates at 5–7 km/h. It is fitted with live HD camera surveillance and GPS tracking for real-time monitoring.

Santhoshi Sushma Buddhiraju, CEO and Co-founder of Autocracy Machinery, said: "Cleaner water systems are essential for sustainable cities, and we're committed to making that a reality through innovation."

Laxman Vallakati, CTO and Founder, said: "This is not just machinery, it's a solution designed to transform how cities manage waste in water bodies."
